Tyre ratings are based on the results of tests conducted by European magazines and testing organizations.

The safety score is the result of 4 elementary performance tests:

Aquaplaning

Dry braking

Wet braking

Wet grip

The comfort score is the result of 3 elementary performance tests:

Irregularity absorption

Dry handling

Road noise

The economy score is the result of 2 elementary performance tests:

Fuel savings

Wear life

The season, outdoor temperature and road surface are all factors that should guide your tyre choice.

Tyres that correspond with the season's conditions make for safer driving, with extended tyre life and improved performance.

Summer: Summer tyres are fitted to cars by default. Summer tyres will perform well in temperatures 7°C and above.

Manufacturers offer summer tyres more than other types of tyres.

Winter and snow: Winter tyres, better known as 'snow tyres', are recommended as soon as the temperature drops below 7°C. They are much safer in cold conditions, because tread compound stays soft and has better traction. These tyres are patterned to expel snow (self-cleaning) and thus maintain maximum traction.

Winter tyres also perform well wet conditions.

All season: All season tyres are designed to perform well all year round. For ideal safety and performance, winter tyres should be used in temperatures below 7°C and summer tyres in temperatures above 7°C.

Nordic: Studded or studdable tyres, sometimes sold as 'Nordic' tyres, are designed for driving in temperatures below -10°C and on roads that are snowed under for several months at a time. They are useful for drivers that live in high altitude mountain regions.

Car tyre range

The tyres you need will depend on the vehicle you drive. Saloon cars, sports cars, 4x4s, vans and motor homes cannot not be fitted with the same tyres.

'Executive car' tyres: These tyres are generally fitted on mid-range to full size luxury cars, For example: C5, Laguna, A4, Passat and up to luxury cars like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes Class E, Audi A8, and so on.

Van/utility vehicle tyre range

Some models of regular family cars can be fitted with utility vehicle tyres, such as the Renault Kangoo or Citroën Berlingo...

Motorhome tyre range

Motorhome tyres offer greater extra-load resistance and can be pumped up to a higher pressure.

Green tyres: Green tyres are a good option for eco-conscious drivers. High performance brands have engineered tyres that use less fuel through a lower rolling resistance. These tyres are often named to reflect this feature: Eco, Energy, Efficient etc...

With photo: Here at rezulteo, we photograph the tyres ourselves so that you get to see the product in HD quality. Our photos also include an integrated zoom feature.

Run-flat: Run-flat tyres enable the car to drive longer distances after a puncture than traditional tyres. Some run-flat tyres need to be fitted on special wheels, which are only compatible with certain vehicles.

These tyres don't perform as well, or last as long as regular tyres. They are also around 20% to 30% more expensive.

Here are the names each tyre brand has assigned to their run-flat technology:

Michelin: ZP

Bridgestone: RFT

Goodyear : EMT, ROF

Continental : SSR

Dunlop : DSST

Pirelli: RunFlat

Hankook: HRS

Kumho: XRP

Toyo : TRF

Yokohama: ZPS

Not yet rated, or a new addition: rezulteo rates tyres.

All rezulteo performance ratings are based on real tests conducted by certified testing organizations.

Some tyres do not have a performance rating, for one of two reasons:

Either the tyre has not been tested and is not scheduled for testing (brand slow to take off, end of series, rare tyre models)

Or the tyre is new to the market and no relevant test is available yet.

As soon as there is a reliable tyre test, rezulteo will integrate the results so that you can get a score that will help you choose your tyres.

OE tyres: Certain tyres have been developed specifically for certain car brands.

You can find these tyres in the following list:

* for BMW

VO for Volkswagen

MO for Mercedes

MO1 for AMG

C1 for Chrysler

A for Toyota

AO for Audi

N0, N1, N2 and N3 for Porsche

RO1 for Audi Quattro

K1 for Ferrari

These tyres have been engineered to enhance certain aspects of the car's performance. In most cases, only professional drivers will be able to feel the difference.

rezulteo has compiled an extensive list of Irish tyre retailers to offer you a wide array of choices.

rezulteo has classified these retailers into 3 categories:

Tyre specialists and automotive repair centres: This type of business specialises in auto products, some offer tyre fitting services that rival the tyre specialists.

Online retailers: These are either major networks that have launched online retail sites, or online retailers that work with partner garages throughout the country. In most cases, these retailers offer tyre fitting through their own network or act as an intermediary with a fitting centre near you. You can choose to have your tyres delivered directly to the nearest fitting centre, or straight to your home (less practical).

Summer tyre designed for city cars and MPVs, the Continental ContiEcoContact 5 combines energy efficiency and safety on wet roads.

Energy efficiency. Thanks to a new compound and squarer profile, the Continental ContiEcoContact 5 reduces rolling resistance by 20% compared to the ContiEcoContact 3, while at the same time improving mileage by 12%.

Safety. Braking distances have been optimised both on dry and wet surfaces. Pirelli claims a 4% gain on dry roads (at 100 kph compared to the Cinturato P4) and 3% on wet roads (at 80 kph compared to the Cinturato P6)

Driving.Rolling noise in the passenger compartment has been reduced by 30% (-1dB, compared to the Cinturato P4) thanks to an innovative tread pattern with continuous sculptures. Driving precision has been enhanced with the "tension control" system which balances the tyre's footprint.

Environment. A low rolling resistance coefficient guaranteed by the new NanoPro-Tech technology, which limits energy losses in the upper layers of the tyre. This results in lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Safety.Good braking performance on wet roads thanks to the innovative design of the tread (interconnected blocks and fine ribs).

Economy. Higher fuel efficiency thanks to the NanoPro-Tech compound with micro silica, which limits energy losses and lowers rolling resistance. High rigidity tread pattern that promotes even wear for a longer tyre life.

A safety-oriented tyre, the Goodyear Optigrip tyre promises a good performance throughout its lifetime.

Safety. A high-performance tyre, even when worn, thanks to SmartWear technology: new grooves and a new rubber compound appear with wear. The tyre resists aquaplaning; features short braking on all surfaces.

Drive. Good handling on both wet and dry surfaces thanks to 3D interlocking sipes.

The Michelin Pilot Primacy is a summer tyre destined for family vehicles and road-going saloons. It’s renowned for its performance on wet surfaces and its driving comfort. It is the predecessor to the Primacy HP.
